1 Raja-raja 15

¹Dalam tahun kedelapan belas zaman raja Yerobeam bin Nebat menjadi rajalah Abiam atas Yehuda.

¹Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.

²Tiga tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Maakha, anak Abisalom.

²He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

³Abiam hidup dalam segala dosa yang telah dilakukan ayahnya sebelumnya, dan ia tidak dengan sepenuh hati berpaut kepada TUHAN, Allahnya, seperti Daud, moyangnya.

³And he walked in all the sins that his father did before him, and his heart was not wholly true to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

⁴Tetapi oleh karena Daud maka TUHAN, Allahnya, memberikan keturunan kepadanya di Yerusalem dengan mengangkat anaknya menggantikan dia dan dengan membiarkan Yerusalem berdiri,

⁴Nevertheless, for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem,

⁵karena Daud telah melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN dan tidak menyimpang dari segala yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadanya seumur hidupnya, kecuali dalam perkara Uria, orang Het itu.

⁵because David did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

⁶Dan ada perang antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam, seumur hidupnya.

⁶Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

⁷Selebihnya dari riwayat Abiam dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda? Dan ada perang antara Abiam dan Yerobeam.

⁷The rest of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

⁸Kemudian Abiam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di kota Daud. Maka Asa, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

⁸And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place.

⁹Dalam tahun kedua puluh zaman Yerobeam, raja Israel, Asa menjadi raja atas Yehuda.

⁹In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah,

¹⁰Empat puluh satu tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama neneknya yang perempuan ialah Maakha, anak Abisalom.

¹⁰and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

¹¹Asa melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya.

¹¹And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as David his father had done.

¹²Ia menyingkirkan pelacuran bakti dari negeri itu dan menjauhkan segala berhala yang dibuat oleh nenek moyangnya.

¹²He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

¹³Bahkan ia memecat Maakha, neneknya, dari pangkat ibu suri, karena neneknya itu membuat patung Asyera yang keji. Asa merobohkan patung yang keji itu dan membakarnya di lembah Kidron.

¹³He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother because she had made an abominable image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

¹⁴Sekalipun bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidak dijauhkan, namun Asa berpaut kepada TUHAN dengan segenap hatinya sepanjang umurnya.

¹⁴But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true to the LORD all his days.

¹⁵Ia membawa persembahan-persembahan kudus ayahnya dan persembahan-persemba kudusnya sendiri ke rumah TUHAN, yakni emas dan perak serta barang-barang lain.

¹⁵And he brought into the house of the LORD the sacred gifts of his father and his own sacred gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels.

¹⁶Dan ada perang antara Asa dan Baesa, raja Israel, sepanjang umur mereka.

¹⁶And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

¹⁷Baesa, raja Israel, maju berperang melawan Yehuda, dan ia memperkuat Rama, dengan maksud mencegah lalu lintas kepada Asa, raja Yehuda.

¹⁷Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and built Ramah, that he might permit no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹⁸Tetapi Asa mengambil segala emas dan perak yang masih tinggal dalam perbendaharaan rumah TUHAN dan dalam perbendaharaan rumah raja dan menyerahkannya kepada pegawainya. Kemudian raja Asa mengutus mereka kepada Benhadad bin Tabrimon bin Hezion, raja Aram yang diam di Damsyik, dengan membawa pesan:

¹⁸Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house and gave them into the hands of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, saying,

¹⁹"Ada perjanjian antara aku dan engkau, antara ayahku dan ayahmu. Di sini kukirim kepadamu suatu bingkisan, yakni emas dan perak. Marilah, batalkanlah perjanjianmu dengan Baesa, raja Israel, supaya ia undur dari padaku."

¹⁹"Let there be a covenant between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I am sending to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me."

²⁰Lalu Benhadad mendengarkan permintaan raja Asa; ia menyuruh panglima-panglimanya menyerang kota-kota Israel dan ia mengalahkan Iyon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Maakha dan seluruh Kinerot serta seluruh tanah Naftali.

²⁰And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel and conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

²¹Segera sesudah Baesa mendengar hal itu, ia berhenti memperkuat Rama dan ia menetap di Tirza.

²¹And when Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and he lived in Tirzah.

²²Tetapi raja Asa mengerahkan segenap orang Yehuda, seorangpun tiada yang terkecuali; mereka harus mengangkat batu dan kayu yang dipergunakan Baesa untuk memperkuat Rama. Raja Asa mempergunakannya untuk memperkuat Geba-Benyamin dan Mizpa.

²²Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah, none was exempt, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building, and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

²³Selebihnya dari seluruh riwayat Asa dan segala kepahlawanannya dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kota-kota yang diperkuatnya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda? Tetapi pada masa tuanya ia menderita sakit pada kedua kakinya.

²³Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? But in his old age he was diseased in his feet.

²⁴Kemudian Asa mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud, bapa leluhurnya. Maka Yosafat, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

²⁴And Asa slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

²⁵Nadab, anak Yerobeam, menjadi raja atas Israel dalam tahun kedua zaman Asa, raja Yehuda. Ia memerintah atas Israel dua tahun lamanya.

²⁵Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.

²⁶Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, serta hidup menurut tingkah laku ayahnya dan menurut dosa ayahnya, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

²⁶He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin which he made Israel to sin.

²⁷Dan Baesa bin Ahia, dari kaum Isakhar, mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia. Baesa menewaskan dia di Gibeton yang termasuk wilayah orang Filistin, sedang Nadab dan seluruh Israel mengepung Gibeton itu.

²⁷Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

²⁸Baesa membunuh dia dalam tahun ketiga zaman Asa, raja Yehuda, dan menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

²⁸So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his place.

²⁹Segera sesudah ia menjadi raja, ia membunuh seluruh keluarga Yerobeam; tidak ada yang bernafas yang ditinggalkannya hidup dari pada Yerobeam, sampai dipunahkannya semuanya, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya Ahia, orang Silo itu,

²⁹And as soon as he was king, he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He left to the house of Jeroboam not one that breathed, until he had destroyed it, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.

³⁰oleh karena dosa-dosa yang telah dilakukan Yerobeam, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula, oleh sebab sakit hati yang ditimbulkannya pada TUHAN, Allah Israel.

³⁰It was for the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned and that he made Israel to sin, and because of the anger to which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel.

³¹Selebihnya dari riwayat Nadab dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?

³¹Now the rest of the acts of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

³²Dan ada perang antara Asa dan Baesa, raja Israel, sepanjang umur mereka.

³²And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

³³Dalam tahun ketiga zaman Asa, raja Yehuda, Baesa bin Ahia menjadi raja atas seluruh Israel di Tirza. Ia memerintah dua puluh empat tahun lamanya.

³³In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel at Tirzah, and he reigned twenty-four years.

³⁴Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN serta hidup menurut tingkah laku Yerobeam dan menurut dosanya yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

³⁴He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel to sin.
